Cascadia Seaweed announced the official opening of an advanced seaweed processing facility in Port Edward, British Columbia, on May 14, marking a major milestone in the Company’s development as a vertically integrated seaweed production and biomanufacturing business.

Cascadia Seaweed has been re-certified as a B Corp with an improved overall score of 113.5, up from 90.4 in 2022. The milestone underscores the company’s continued leadership in corporate responsibility and sustainable solutions, including meaningful collaborations with Indigenous communities, an area of global focus amid COP30 discussions.

A Benefit Company committed to conducting business responsibly and sustainably and promoting public benefits.

"Canada has a critical role to play in supporting international development, particularly through a gender lens, as communities can be significantly uplifted by supporting women and youth," said Cascadia founder and director Bill Collins.

Cascadia Seaweed is committed to building a profitable business that delivers environmental and social benefits. Our mission is to create a climate-resilient food system that actively involves Indigenous communities. Seaweed cultivation enhances local ocean ecosystems by generating oxygen, capturing carbon, and supporting marine habitats. Its diverse commercial applications hold immense potential. By incorporating seaweed into agricultural products, we aim to help farmers boost yields, reduce emissions, and strengthen economic stability, while staying true to our commitment to responsible, sustainable business growth, as outlined in our articles of incorporation.
